Albies is a young middle infielder with plus hit, glove, and run tools. An international signing from Curacao, he has been promoted aggressively above his age. He's a switch-hitter, and the hit tool flashes plus with variation to the swing. His default swing is geared to a high-contact, slap approach, though he will simplify and attack the ball aggressively from time to time. The game power is tied to which approach takes hold; it is limited, though there's more pop than the frame suggests. His speed will lead to extra bases and the capacity to steal plenty of bases, though there is present hesitancy to utilize it. He recently moved from short to second, where the glove is an asset with plus range. The arm profiles better at the keystone, though there is enough to profile at short. He's an exciting player with a future starting middle-infield contributor projection.
